We had Rod guiding us for this tour and he never stopped providing us with information and fascinating facts for the whole day. He diverts off to show hidden objects that you would definitely miss. If you want a tour of this area then definitely book with Rod & Jackie. You won’t be disappointed.

My tour guide was Rod Bedford, an ex-Regimental Sergeant Major and former Police Officer. We were driven to many significant locations in France & Belgium. Rod's knowledge of all military matters, battlefields, cemeteries and general history of the whole area is beyond belief. He imparts this knowledge clearly and very well indeed. There were many highlights but for me the best was the Menin Gate ceremony where we found a crowd of more that 500 people, including children, on what was an ordinary day of the week. I will always remember this trip and will endeavour to return.

This was such a special day. Rod made such an effort to take us to the place of the last known position of our relative. And to help us recite the 'Ode' at the Tyne Cot memorial, where he is named. And to place a Poppy. (Thank you Polly) Kev's mother was so touched with the video we sent her. Thankyou to both Rod and Quentin, for your knowledge, respect and care of the history, and for sharing it with us. Thank you for your Service.
